I'M SORRY MR. GADDAFI, YOU'LL HAVE TO LEAVE YOUR WMDS IN THE VIP LOUNGE
heartbreakers / statesmen / bon vivants Hannibal & Saadi Gaddafi demonstrate secret libyan handshake
Party monsters Saadi & Motassim 'Hannibal' Gaddafi, the Colonel's worthless spawn, rocked the Caribbean New Year on St. Barts with an exclusive VIP performance by the legendary Enrique Iglesias. The Gaddafi posse descended "with an entourage of 30 or 40 people, with lots of security. Every day they were on the beach, riding Jet Skis, & having long lunches with plenty of wine."
NY Daily News speculates the idea may have been planted at last year's Venice Film Festival, where Saadi &UdayHannibal were the toast of the town, & where Enrique's squeeze Anna Kournikova made chums with the two gangsters. At Venice, the Gaddafis enjoyed a special performance by hip hop felon / prophet-for-our-time 50 Cent, who says rapping for the Tripoli home boyz was the highlight of his 2005, perhaps because he's so used to jonesing with criminals.
At least Enrique was too saavy to mingle with the Maghreb riff-raff, refusing to leave the VIP area, altho he was reportedly paid a six-figure fee to perform for the Libyan mafia. No word if Saadi & Hannibal found time to indulge their regular pastimes, such as beating up pregnant women, assaulting police officers, smashing up yachts, romancing Nicole Kidman, & pretending to play soccer.
Meanwhile, the Colonel announced his latest humanitarian epiphany, "aimed at assisting disadvantaged & vulnerable people" in Africa. He might want to start with the 130 Libyan political prisoners who began a hunger strike this week, to protest their continued imprisonment after Seif Gaddafi (the other reprobate) announced with great fanfare last fall that they would be released by last September.

Fiddy was prolly paid extra to say it was a highlight of 2005, or it was simply part of the contract.
They look kinda cute in that picture (like the Libyan version of a skat kat Swingers duo), almost like "hey, maybe they're just like Osama's niece and there's hope for pro-Western views in Libya afterall!"-cute, but those hopes were dashed after clicking all those links. Once again: You suck, Jeff.
My life was better back when I was abysmally ignorant of the world.

"Yep, BA has the dope on Gaddafi (Qaddafi, Khadafy...)"
In the 80s when Reagan bombed Libya there was an incredibly funny popular song titled, "Hou You Spell Khadafy?" Wish I could find it now; it's still timely, sadly.

Iglesias refused to come out of the VIP area--what kind of a fig leaf is that supposed to be? That's about as gauzy as an excuse can get--to say that he hung out with the Libyan party monsters but not in public.

A Miami radio station said Enrique was paid $1million for the gig.
